Thats not true. Ads are a race to the bottom (bottom being complete loss of privacy for optimizing sales). There is no one losing (not literally, but thats a s separate discussion) if the adds are "less" personalized. The industry

Making ADHD a joke is hurting millions of people who really have an issue. Yes ADHD medication is reducing apetite, but let me tell you, its not always nice, especially if you want to gain weight

I gave it a .txt file that i wanted to parse its data into .csv columns. It actually got most of it right but after spending hours prompting it, it never really got everything right. Its worst nightmare was that there were some nested value

Long I wanted to tattoo this. My favorite (maybe false) story is that this was told to Roman generals when they came back from a victory. Kind of “be humble”. I don’t know if it’s true but having always in mind that death is there both humb

Almost everyone I know having a big Iphone bought it because it was the most expensive one. No one does it because they like to hold a mini TV. I may be biased, but I have a wide sample.

Close. The first part is fair. A more real-life example. I am a pharma company and I want to execute a query on some hospital data. The hospital doesn't want to give me the data in plaintext but they are fine with me getting some aggre

You are right to be blunt. I didn't want to define the separation of input and output privacy in a comment. In retrospect maybe I should have but I can't edit anymore. It is however common HN practice to pick out the words that su

You are right. It is related to privacy, but its not the whole story. Thats what I am trying to say. Running FHE will not magically solve the "data leakage" problem of your AI models, and I believe that the people/companies w

Yeah, and many more. But I've seen multiple people argue that using FHE will magically solve all their privacy problems and its far from true. FHE (and similar technologies) solve a piece of that "puzzle" and most providers s

by v4dok 4y ago
Thats true. But it will still produce some data, and that data will be viewed by someone eventually who owns the key to decrypt it. FHE tells you nothing about what this product should be. It could as well be a full copy of the original dat

I wouldn't hold my breath on this. Reducing it by x40 AND making sure that hardware is not leaky.

Depends on what do you mean by "person running the code" If by person you mean the admin of the machine, then yes. If by person you mean the developer of the FHE-based application, then "maybe" If by person you mean the

I am still amazed by the amount of people that still mix security and encryption in-use with privacy. And truth is the whole privacy/security industry is doing nothing to change that. Take this for example "Valuable insights throu

Ultimately it's energy. And as long as the output is valued enough, we would put the energy there. It would be a terribly inefficient/poor world but it could be done. Unless we have so much energy available that the cost is neglig

Important to note that we are talking about Turkey giving a casus belli on installation of AA systems in a foreign country. A foreign country that Turkey invaded some years prior to that, and still occupies 20% of the island. Pretty easy to

A bit late but hope you see it. I mean that what we call the "competent part of Europe" is only competent in a myopic level. When it comes to their own local economy as if it is operating in vacuum. I argue that most of the foreig

1. I meant declining in a more generic/long-term view 2. Independence is underpinned by a combination of military and economic power which adds up to enough power to take your own policy decisions. For now UKR has all the independence

Its interesting because I would argue for the exact opposite of everything you say (almost). Which makes for a nice discussion. I don't think the war will be over until US and EU decide to stop sending weapons to UKR. Now, in terms of
